Wigan confirm Eddy Pettybourne arrival

Wigan have confirmed the signing of forward Eddy Pettybourne on a two-year-contract from NRL side Wests Tigers, according to Sky Sports.

The 25-year-old will remain in Sydney until the end of the NRL season before joining the Warriors for the start of their 2014 pre-season programme in November.

Pettybourne was able to negotiate an early release from the final two years of his contract at the Tigers to tie up a deal with the Warriors.

Pettybourne has been drafted in to strengthen the Wigan attack with Lee Mossop and Chris Tuson departing the club at the end of the current campaign, while prop Paul Prescott was forced to announce his retirement on Thursday because of on-going injury problems.
